Trafficking of humans curtailed

Sustained efforts in legal system credited for decline in abductions

The trafficking of women and children has been curtailed in the past few years, thanks to multipronged efforts that include harsher judicial rules, China's top court said on Monday.

While 3,631 people were found guilty of trafficking in 2010, that number fell to 1,362 last year, according to the latest numbers from the Supreme People's Court.
